Community Tasting Note

Friday, July 7, 2006 - Penfolds Grange Vertical Tasting (1990-1975) (Alba Restaurant, Whitecross Street, London): Blend unknown. A mature integrated nose with gentle fruit. Big, powerful attack. This is a huge wine. Massive on the palate. Remarkable stuff. But it's also very enjoyable. Quite a sour cherry flavour on the finish.
93/100
Re-tasted around 11 p.m. This has quite a definite tar burner nose now with a good soft fruit character. Very, very big. The palate hasn't changed much, if at all.
Wine of the night for me (though only just pipping a number of others)
